Garbage-collection Schedule Changes

Because of restructuring of the firm, company officials said they need to merge routes from three Chicago-area districts into two. As a result, BFI wants to complete all garbage collection in the village on Thursdays instead of doing pickups on Thursdays and Fridays.

Trustees expressed concern that collection would take longer during the one day than it does when spread over two days, leaving refuse at curbside for longer periods of time. However, village manager James Sevcik said BFI expects to add more trucks to the local routes so collection could be completed in a timely manner.

The village and BFI will conduct a public education campaign to alert residents to the change. That will include distributing fliers in affected neighborhoods, buying advertisements in newspapers, and local cable TV.
